Bohemians scored six minutes from time to snatch a draw at Dalymount Park and to prevent Cork City from taking all three points.
Adam Evans found the net on 84 minutes to cancel out Mark O'Sullivan's second minute goal for last season's runners-up.
A cross was headed back in Evans' direction in the box and he struck first time to beat Cork keeper Mark McNulty.

With Dundalk cantering away at the top of the table after thrashing Bray Wanderers today, the result will not help Cork in their task of chasing down the side which pipped them to the title in 2014.
Cork City stay third, while Bohs remain comfortably in the top half of the table.
